There is a time in every rider's life when a special horse or pony makes an impression in a big way. For years Neala has been a special part of the Alliance Equestrian team, and we are so grateful for all the time, patience, and kindness she has shared with so many adults and children. Thank you Kaarin Forester and Katherine Forester for sharing your wonderful pony with us!
This weekend we celebrated Neala in style with a retirement party!

We had a sunny early spring feel this weekend, the horses were out rolling in the dirt and so was the new barn kitten!
